$50 an hour playing 2/4? Are you serious? A great player would have to run hot for the whole year to average $10 an hour. $100k a year playing 2/4, yeah!

Well OK if that's too high for you, then howbout 3/6? The level of skill doesn't change that much at casinos moving to that level. I've had many of 2/4 sessions where I did 100/hr. I think it is reasonable that you could do $50 an hour playing 3/6 if you played correctly over the longrun. My experience is that tables at casinos are rediculously loose at that level, so you just adjust accordingly.

To address the other post about finance jobs, what do these finance people do exactly right out of college that are making a bundle as is mentioned? I'm not challenging your knowledge I would just like to know because I'll soon be looking for one. I'm a finance major myself and have had several recent encounters with "financial" offices offering positions to recent college grads. You think you're becoming an analyst or advisor but instead they get you all excited and you find yourself doing cold calls for 80+ hours a week, selling out your family and friends as possible clients. That's how it goes here in Orlando anyway. Too many companies try to take advantage of ignorant college grads, seen it happen over and over again. I would love to come across a legitimate financial office that means well for the clients instead of trying to get them to sign up for insurance and "financial plans" (selling only the company securities and nothing else). Some companies I'm talking about include Ameriprise, Northwestern Mutual, and Meryl Lynch. Don't get me wrong, if you don't mind how these companies operate and are good at it, you can make LOTS of money. I'm just trying to see if you are referring to these types or not. Most people just consider these positions morally wrong.
